Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Connor Ronan swapped shirts with Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne in the wake of the EFL Cup clash between the two clubs, it has been revealed.

The Wolves youngster obtained the Belgian international's jersey after the game to give to his City-supporting teenage brother Josh, reports the Birmingham Mail.

"At full time I asked Kevin De Bruyne if we could swap and he said yes so I found him again in the tunnel," Ronan, who would have kept the shirt swap secret had footage of it not appeared online, is quoted as saying.

"He gave me his shirt and then asked me for mine as well which was a bit of a surprise but I was pleased to pass it on. Everyone else in our family are United fans, but my 13-year-old brother Josh is a City fan so fair play to him for that."

Wolves held the Premier League table toppers to a goalless draw during the cup tie, but bowed out 4-1 on penalty kicks.
